You Want First-Hand Testimony? Here It Is!

Shocking New Low -- Even For This Person!



Foul-mouthed Pennsylvania Dem Senate candidate Katie McGinty (a virtual unknown) might have thought she could get publicity by calling her opponent, incumbent Pat Toomey an a - - hole. Well, she was right -- but she's now getting coverage for all the wrong reasons. What a disgrace!

Just A Few Things You May Not Have Known . . . .

Christie Says NO! To Latest Gas Tax Hike Scheme

From our friends at Save Jersey:
By Matt Rooney | The Save Jersey Blog
Chris Christie will NOT sign off on the Democrats’ new gas tax/TTF fix, Save Jerseyans, a deal cut without his input during last week’s Republican convention.

He issued the following statement on Monday evening:
“I reviewed this weekend the Democrats’ latest plan to fund the Transportation Trust Fund through a massive gas tax hike that does not represent tax fairness to the residents of New Jersey. Therefore, I cannot support it.
“I proposed a significant plan for tax fairness, one that included a reduced sales tax and retirement income tax cuts to offset any increase in the gas tax. The Assembly overwhelmingly approved that plan. The Democrat Senate responded by doing what Democrats always do on taxes: impose an immediate massive tax hike with a promise of future tax relief long after I am out of office. It is unfortunate that Speaker Prieto has now given in to this failed approach.
“As I have said for two years, any solution for a Transportation Trust Fund must have as its foundation tax fairness. This proposal does not. Hopefully when they return to New Jersey after the Democrat National Convention in Philadelphia, the Democrats will put forward a plan consistent with that principle.
Their current proposal, however, is dead on arrival.”

Revealed: The GOP's Record In Advancing Women!

There's been a lot of talk at the Democratic National Convention about the party's commitment to women and all of the "firsts" the party can claim in that regard.

But the truth just may surprise you. In fact, no political party has done more for woman or had more women "firsts" than the Grand Old Party -- the Republican Party.

And that's been the case since its founding.

Don't believe us?

Well, here are some inconvenient truths:
  • The first woman to be appointed to the United States Supreme Court was a republican, appointed by a Republican president. 
  • The first African-American woman to serve as Secretary of State was a Republican, appointed by a Republican president. The first woman ever elected to Congress was a Republican. 
  • Three women were among the founders of the Republican Party and the party was the first to recognize women in its platform. 
  • The first woman ever to address a national political convention was a Republican. 
  • The first woman ever to have her name placed in nomination for the presidency by a major party was a Republicans at a Republican convention. 
  • The first equal rights for women plank carried in any major party platform was contained in the Republican Party platform. 
  • The first major party to favor federal woman suffrage was the Republican Party. 
  • The first woman to preside over a session of the U. S. House of Representatives was a Republican. 
  • The first woman to serve as Mayor of a major American city was a Republican. 
  • The first woman elected to the US Senate in her own right was a Republican. 
  • The first woman ever named US Ambassador to a major country (Italy) was a Republican, named by a Republican president. 
  • The first woman to ever serve as Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare was a Republican, appointed by a Republican president. 
  • The first woman to serve as CEO of a major party convention was a Republican. 
  • The first woman chairman of a state committee of any major political party was a Republican. 
  • The first woman in political history to be elected to the national co-chairmanship of either party was a Republican. 
  • The first woman to be the keynote speaker at a national convention of any major political party was a Republican.  
  • The first two women Senators to serve concurrently in Congress were Republicans. 
  • The first woman to be appointed Secretary of the Department of Housing and Urban Development was a Republican. 
  • The first woman U.S. Representative to the United Nations was a Republican. 
  • The first woman appointed Secretary of the Department of Transportation was a Republican. 
  • The first three women to serve concurrently in the Cabinet were Republicans. 
  • The first Asian-American woman to serve in Congress was a Republican. 
  • The first woman to be chosen by the opposition party to respond to the president's State of the Union address was a Republican. 
  • The first women to serve as national Security Advisor, Agriculture Secretary and Interior Secretary were all Republicans. 
  • The youngest woman ever elected to Congress was aRepublican.
I think we'd all have to agree that by any standard of measurement, this is an impressive record. And it's not even complete in terms of historical accomplishments and trailblazing firsts.

So, remember the facts. Tell your daughters and granddaughters about this.  And don't believe the spin that Democrats are trying to sell you his week.

The Bern That Flickered, Smoldered, Then Died





He's Just Too Extreme And Too Unqualified!


The Republican Attorneys General Association released the following statement regarding Josh Shapiro and the Democratic National Convention:

"Hillary Clinton cannot unify her party because even Democrats know she is untrustworthy," said Scott Will, Executive Director of RAGA. 
"Their convention has barely begun and is descending into chaos thanks to the revelations of primary rigging by the DNC against Bernie Sanders. Now, Hillary Clinton is desperately seeking to appease Sanders' supporters by endorsing a far-left party platform that would destroy Pennsylvania's energy industry and massively increase taxes, spending, and the national debt. Josh Shapiro, a donor to Hillary Clinton, enthusiastically supports the job-killing platform of the Democratic Party, which, in addition to being unqualified, makes him too extreme to be Pennsylvania’s attorney general.”

About RAGA: The Republican Attorneys General Association (RAGA) is the only national organization whose mission is electing Republicans to the Office of State Attorney General. In 2014 Republican attorneys general became the clear majority, for the first time in our country’s history, increasing the total number of Republican attorneys general from 24 to 27, protecting all our 12 incumbents and turning three states from blue to red, by investing nearly $14 million into political spending.
